I had to go to the pet store to get a light for DS's fish tank and they had the cutest puppy there. Not sure what brand it was (see I'm not a dog person, I'm sure one of you would refer to it as breed :rotfl: ), but the guy said it gets to 80 pounds.

I have no idea how big that would be, but DS is only 52#, so it would be bigger than him. :scared1:

It was darn cute though. Whitish. Can't remember if it had any other colors - I thought it did. Good thing Suz wasn't with me.

Jeff, my DS is scared of big dogs - I think it has something to do with being knocked down by a chocolate lab when he was 3ish.

We aren't good candidates for dog ownership - the dog would be home 8-9 hours a day alone. Plus, we're usually gone on Saturdays too....pretty lonely life for a dog.

[DISNEYDUET]

I just took this pic of Angelina's cat Stefani as she is laying on the foot rest of my Lazy Boy. This is one of Stefani's favorite places to sleep.

I love fat cats!!! A friend of mine has a HUGH orange tabby named Otis. He is 23lbs!!! He looks like Garfield.

[millerpjm]

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

Back at work again today...sigh...

I really enjoyed seeing all the pet pics! That was fun!

Cass, my cats love to find fun "spots" too. When they were kittens, I would often find them both curled up together in the bathroom sink! It was so cute (except when I needed to brush my teeth!).

[DISNEYDUET]

Here's my sweet Cabo. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I love, love, love this picture!!! He is so handsome! :lovestruc

[DISNEYDUET]

I think I've posted this before...


Candy :cutie:

http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa173/dyerneeds/littlebear.jpg

What a sweety!

[DISNEYDUET]

Yeah, that lasted for about 3 hours Lori. I have to have my tea. Since coffee is the big no-no for my throat I thought I'd pace myself with this "giving up" stuff. I don't want to over-do it ya know. :rotfl2:
I might get too healthy and then what would my doctors complain about then? :rotfl2:

:rotfl:

[millerpjm]

Well, I have to actually go do some work now...

See you all later!

[DISNEYDUET]

I think I might have posted the pic before, but I'm not sure. This was my buddy buddy Midnight. It's so hard to believe he's been gone for more than two years now. :sad1: This pic is the wallpaper on my laptop....:goodvibes

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/VerandahMan/Midnight.jpg

What a sweet angel! :cloud9: I know he is missed.

[DISNEYDUET]

This is Parthos. We adopted him about 2 years ago. He is very lovvey.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x220/goofyfreak/007.jpg

That looks like Otis but with more fur!!! :laughing:

[DISNEYDUET]

Our fur-baby ... Handsome Pete. We've had him since he was a kitten - he'll be 8 years old in July. He holds a special place in my heart because we picked him out just a few weeks before my brother died - having this little guy around really helped me through some tough times. He's a punk, but he's also a sweetheart. :love:

He hates it when we travel...
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l213/oybolshoi/DSC01045.jpg

It only makes sense that a cat of ours would love books...
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l213/oybolshoi/1-2.jpg

I'm plush ... what's wrong with that?
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l213/oybolshoi/6.jpg

Give me the camera ... and the catnip and no one gets hurt
http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l213/oybolshoi/20.jpg

There's that handsome thing! (sorry not you Jason! :laughing: )

[DISNEYDUET]

Ok, so my geek husband is watching all the pre-flight online stuff for the shuttle launch tonight, so I am perusing photos and decided to share some with you.

What can I say, I am a scrapbooker, avid photographer and I take a lot of photos and love to share :rotfl:

Ok, let's start small....:lmao:

Here is a pic of Lilo and Goof...I've never seen them do this so I thought it was funny!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/lilo-goof.jpg

And then, a few days laters, in the same spot...check this out...trust me when I say they never do this! :lmao: Lilo and Stitch

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/lilo-stitch.jpg

Cass you know how much I love your pooches!!! I wish we lived closer. Shadow would have a ball playing together! He needs someone his own size to run around with.

[Walt & Di]

He loved bags of all kinds...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/18.jpg

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/13.jpg

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/10.jpg

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/3.jpg


Let's see...there were garbage cans...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/17.jpg



Sinks..

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/16.jpg


http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/12.jpg



Folders...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/15.jpg


The top of my shower (didn't think he could do that one!)

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/14.jpg

Chairs that were on top of counters while I cleaned my floor...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/11.jpg




Then we moved to a new house...and he found new spots.


The top of the fridge was first of course...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/6.jpg


Then there were the cupboards above the fridge!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/4.jpg



NEAR the sink...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/9.jpg

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/5.jpg


Laundry baskets..


http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/7.jpg

Must have been expecting a fax...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/8.jpg


And then Lilo and Stitch came along and he found even more spots...

In their bed...
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/2.jpg

On their kennels..

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/1.jpg


That's all I could find but there are more! :rolleyes1

We miss you Slink, you sure made our lives interesting :goodvibes

I loved all the Slink pictures. Diane

[DISNEYDUET]

Then I have a couple of puppy pics....




No wonder we got them...

Can you tell which one is Lilo (hyperactive, playful one) and which one is Stitch (lazy butt!) LOL!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/26.jpg

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/27.jpg


I KNEW I should never have gone to that kennel!!! :rolleyes: Cuteness will get you every time!!

Love it! :lmao: She is a girl after my own heart!! SUPER LILO!!!! :yay:

[DISNEYDUET]

Ok, now I wanna share some funny Slinky pics. :goodvibes




http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/slinky.jpg



We adopted Slinky in 2002 when he was one year old. He came from an abusive home and I felt bad for him. Unfortunately we had to get rid of him last year because he decided to use everything as his litterbox except his litterbox. We tried different medications and many different techniques to no avail. He's living the high life on a farm in Rimbey Alberta right now. He has what he's always wanted, FREEDOM!! :lmao: So he's happy and things turned out for him.

I've had cats all my life (the first five my parents let me name...all 5 of them Mickey! :laughing: ) but never have I seen a cat with more personality than Slinky. He was sooo funny! He found the funniest spots and here's but a few of them...I have more but can't find them.

My desk chair...the blanket is there because he shed like crazy and it was supposed to prevent any Slinky hairs getting all over my chair! :rolleyes:


http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/25.jpg


He claimed the top of the fridge right away!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/24.jpg


As well as the little niche above the fireplace...

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/23.jpg



The microwave..
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/22.jpg



and my drawer for my dishcloths...which he opened all by himself!
http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/21.jpg


He also claimed the spot under my lamp above my desk..

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/20.jpg


Apparently, he needed to make a call on Rob's cell..

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/19.jpg

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Don't get me wrong. I love my pup but cats have so much personality!!! Don't you wish you knew what they were thinking!

[DISNEYDUET]

:lmao: You're not far wrong Jeff - the forecast is even worse fo my area tonight. Neil keeps ringing up and asking about the house ridge tiles on the roof - yeah right! - I'm fine thanks Neil:rolleyes: ...you just stay in your nice cosy hotel and bar:rolleyes: - I'll look after the house, child etc...as long as your having fun dear:rolleyes:

Day 2 of diet is going well:thumbsup2 - just to let you all know - I put on every pound that I'd lost so I'm starting over:rolleyes1

I have til late july to squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze into a swimsuit and it aint gonna be pretty:scared1: - it might help clear a big spot on the beach in Greece though:rotfl2:

I did lots of exercise yesterday and then walked the long way to Ellis' school last night and back. I'm off on the treadmill now for an hour.

According to Dr Phil I shouldnt rely on willpower - I'll fail (gee - really!). I need to put into place alternative things so I cant eat at my week moments of the day - mine is 8.30pm once Ellis is in bed - (otherwise known as cheese and wine time:rolleyes1 ).

Not any more:rolleyes:

Have a good day people. If you see a mad aussie fly past you tonight it'll be me blowing across the atlantic so catch hold if you can. They reckon my area could reach up to 80mph tonight:scared1:

Toto, I dont think we're in Kanzas any more......

Please be careful Karen!!! And remember to stay away from the windows.

[DISNEYDUET]

All caught up now. Only took an hour. Looks like you guys had fun last night!

[Tart Annihilator]

Love the pet pics everyone. :thumbsup2

Just stopped in to say hi.

I start back to school next Tuesday. I have to go order my books now. :rolleyes:

Catch everyone later. :)

Howdy Jeff............:wave:


Gotta get back out the door and get to those meters, see ya later.........:wave2:

Hi Andy. Sorry I missed you again. I was getting ready for work. By the time you read this I'll be off the thread and working (so I say). Then I'll miss your lunchtime postings and you'll miss mine. We're just two trains passing in the night. :rotfl:

[Tart Annihilator]

Morning Jeff. :)

[JLDSMD]

Jeff, my DS is scared of big dogs - I think it has something to do with being knocked down by a chocolate lab when he was 3ish.

We aren't good candidates for dog ownership - the dog would be home 8-9 hours a day alone. Plus, we're usually gone on Saturdays too....pretty lonely life for a dog.

DS was knocked down by the neighbors dog twice and it was a medium sized dog. It was made to be out and walked or ran and they never did that. Too much pent up energy.

We're never home either to have a dog. Suz would like to get one, but it wouldn't be fair to the dog. :dogdance:

[MinnMick01]

Tell MacKenzie she needs to come to VA and teach Julia how to tie her shoes.:goodvibes

She is more then willing to. I told her about it and she said I get to take a plane, bymyself. :banana:

[JLDSMD]

Yeah I can't wait. The comment for Jeff is that we are leasing and give the car back vs purchasing, was not a very wise and economical choice, but live and learn. As for the Durango, Sean is bound and determined to buy American made this year.


I couldn't stress enough how BAD a decision leasing a car is. Unless you can write the entire lease off somehow, I would never do it.

I had to run the numbers once for a company vehicle at a prior job and the rip off in leasing could be calculated in 1 of 3 ways:

1. You will end up paying over MSRP for the car (I've never bought a vehicle for more than $300 over Invoice).

2. You will be paying more than 20% for the use of the money (based on a reasonable purchase price of the vehicle).

3. You will be paying between $100-$150 for the servicing of the lease (sorry, they don't need that much money to do a lease).

They have "truth in lending" statements that have to be signed at the time you take out a loan. There realy should be "truth in leasing" as well. I think if people really ran the numbers, car leasing would die pretty quickly. But, most people think they need a new car every 3 years or a flashy one (not saying that is your case Becky) and look at this as a cheap way to do it. O.K., I'm off the soapbox.


As for an American car, what would define that? Many of the cars made by the Big 3 are built in Mexico. Many of the Japanese cars are 80% built here in the US.

So it depends if you want to support the workers or the corporation.

[JLDSMD]

Morning Jeff. :)

Morning Robin.

[JLDSMD]

OK, time to get rid of some of the backlog of work I have here.

Talk to y'all later.

In one of your pictures you have a mickey minnie picture wedding picture frame. We have the same one. It sits on my dresser. I got it the day after he proposed to me.

[Verandah Man]

What a sweet angel! :cloud9: I know he is missed.


You don't know how much Shelley. We had Midnight cremated and were going to bury his ashes in the backyard. But once we got his ashes home we didn't have the heart to do it, so Midnight's ashes are here in the livingroom, with his favorite chew toy by his side.

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a118/VerandahMan/Midnightsashes.jpg

[Timon]

Good morning all! :wave:

Great pics Cass. I had to laugh at a lot of those pics. Did you make it a habit of feeding your kitty on top of the fridge? Perhaps if you moved his food bowls and his bed to the floor?? :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

And, I spy, with my one little eye, quite a few Minnies in your house. Hmmmmmm, maybe you really do like her? :rotfl2:

My fav had to be the one where he snuggled up to your Mickey pencil holder. Smart cat! BTW...I have that same pencil holder (kind of). Mine has Mickey leaning on the cup with his feet crossed in front of him. :)

We had a cat many times while growing up too. Let's see, I had a Mitzy, Jessica, Mitzy (again), Piwackett, Coco, Ping Pong, So-what, and my longest lasting one was Kitty. I had her for 17 years! We had one dog who's name was Leepy (Lepcheun) ...a weiner dog. Then after Chuck and I got married we had a miniature schnauzer named Kipper and then finally Cabo San Lucas.

Gotta love those animals. :love:


Nancy, there were only three Minnies and they were all wedding gifts ;) If they made wedding stuff without the skank, I would have bought them! :lmao: The wedding cake topper was the first gift we got, right after we announced it to my mom that we decided to get married she ran out to the Disney store in her jammies (she was very ill then) and got it for us. I think it was her way of saying that we had her blessing. Then she passed away which is why we got married in Vegas, I couldn't bare planning a big wedding without her. :sad1:

As for feeding Slink on the fridge, we didn't have a choice because Goofy was a huge bully! For 5 years he chased Slinky all day long. His only relief came in high places like the fridge because Goofy is too fat and lazy to get there :rolleyes:

My Mickey pencil holder sounds the same as yours, Mickey's legs are crossed in front of him :thumbsup2

[Verandah Man]

Hi Karen
The weather up north is getting bad now, we had just rain yesterday and a bit windy but it really picking up here to now.
Hold on to your hats:rotfl:

Hope it is not too bad for you. How close do you live to the coast?

I remember having 100 mph straight line winds come through when we were at the old house. That stuff is nasty. Luckily we have a weather radio and knew when they were about 45 min or so from reaching us. We went out and took all the patio furniture inside. Had them again a week later. Lots of trees down with those winds.

Sean/Cath,

How far north do you guys live?

We live north west england, the nearest big city is manchester - guess you will have heard of them before! The coast from us is about 1 hour away and the lake district 1.5 hours.

WOW!!! Stay Safe!!! Sounds like some of the weather we had over the weekend found it's way across the pond.

[Verandah Man]

Hazel bought me a new wedding band a few years ago because my original wedding band was getting much too tight on my finger. I almost lost my new wedding band this morning as it fell off while I was taking my gloves off. I came home and just put my "original wedding band" back on and it fits perfect!!! :thumbsup2 Hazel couldn't believe it........:laughing:


OK, time to get back to work, see ya later...........:wave2:

[cntkg1]

Jeff, did you get an email from me today? Seems like our email is on the fritz again. If not, you’ll probably get it this afternoon with this morning’s time on it.

COMPUTERS! To err is human, to really screw things up requires a computer. :sad2:

Doesn't Karen live near or in Manchester? How far are you away from there?

Now Chris is in the north as well, right?

Heather and Linda are in the South, correct?

Instead of two trains passing in the night, how about 2 ships. I'll even let you take the Magic. I'll take the Wonder. :thumbsup2

Seriously, the old one fits because you're losing weight. Good job. :thumbsup2

I just cleaned up my in and out boxes, so I can't check my history. I sent you like 2 or so (responding to yesterday). Shoot me another one and I'll let you know.

[JLDSMD]

Yes am in the north,Karen is 100 miles south from me with Heather and Linda a further 100 miles down the road....:)

Isn't Heather closer to London?

Thanks a lot Chris.

I was just looking at my trusty UK map (ok, maybe it's Google's and not mine).

I know where you are (approx) and I did see I had Karen way off. I remember now that she is in Birmingham area.

I knew Heather was neat London.

And what are you trying to say, Linda needs a bath? :rotfl:

[JLDSMD]

So Chris, have you always lived up north? You just seem like the kind of guy that would be down in the big city.

[JLDSMD]

A Fact Only post...:rolleyes1

Well, since that was a Fact Only post, I have another UK Fact question for you.

Is only Northern Ireland in the UK? What about regular Ireland?

I googled UK Map and Ireland was shaded out and only Northern had any detail.

[JLDSMD]

http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o79/Skyla100UK/UK/england_map.gif



Anyone else just love some of the town/city names in England?

This map has one called Berwick-Upon-Tweed.

You get a more detailed map and they have some other fun ones.

[JLDSMD]

Here in WI, we only get those hard to pronounce Indian names.

Milwaukee, Pewaukee, Waukesha, Mukwanago, Shawano, etc.

Heather and Linda are in the South, correct?

Karen is in birmingham which is about 2 hours south of us, and chris is in leeds which is in west yorkshire. We are nearer to chris, its about 1hour away if we go on the train.

Hiya folks...

Its only 6.30pm and the weather is already :scared1:

Just drove back from Ellis' swimming lesson and its hard sideways rain and the winds are terrific.:sad2: Me no likey bad weather:sad2:


Hi Karen
The weather up north is getting bad now, we had just rain yesterday and a bit windy but it really picking up here to now.
Hold on to your hats



If I had a hat I'd hold onto it:goodvibes

Hope it is not too bad for you. How close do you live to the coast?

I remember having 100 mph straight line winds come through when we were at the old house. That stuff is nasty. Luckily we have a weather radio and knew when they were about 45 min or so from reaching us. We went out and took all the patio furniture inside. Had them again a week later. Lots of trees down with those winds.

We're about as central and as far away from the coast as you can get - the county is the West Midlands - bang in the middle of England.

I've already moved all the garden stuff and strapped down the bin lid - it took off like a frizbee last time and was half way down the close:eek:

Ellis has to wear an Easter hat?

Talk about scarring him for life.

I know:rolleyes: - We've decided on a green "grass" band and a bunny sitting up at the front. Found a template for the bunny;)

WOW!!! Stay Safe!!! Sounds like some of the weather we had over the weekend found it's way across the pond.

Next time you can keep your grotty weather - thanks anyway:rotfl:

Hazel bought me a new wedding band a few years ago because my original wedding band was getting much too tight on my finger. I almost lost my new wedding band this morning as it fell off while I was taking my gloves off. I came home and just put my "original wedding band" back on and it fits perfect!!! Hazel couldn't believe it........ :

I too have 2 wedding rings.... When I was preggy with Ellis my fingers swelled up a lot so I couldnt get my wedding ring on....I didnt want to walk round with a huge tummy and no wedding ring so I got Neil to buy me another:goodvibes - I call it my Ellis ring:goodvibes

Doesn't Karen live near or in Manchester? How far are you away from there?

Now Chris is in the north as well, right?

Heather and Linda are in the South, correct?

Incorrect Sir Jeff - Birmingham (well actually we now live in the royal town of Sutton Coldfield just outside of Birmingham;) - "the royal town of" sounds posh doesnt it!:rotfl:

You're easily pleased:rotfl:


Been to birmingham once to visit the Cadbury Chocolate factory, yummy, bet karens been there.:rotfl:

Oh yeah!:woohoo: - Cadbury chocolate factory:woohoo: - You get lots of freebie chocolate as you go round and then a dish full of gooey melted chocolate near the end of the tour, just incase you dont already feel sick as a dog you will by the time you finish the dish full.

I won't even tell Suz about the Cadbury factory. Besides Karen living there this would be just one more reason to go there. To expensive to travel outside of North America right now.

See! - we could have lots of fun if you bought Suz and ds over:banana:

We are coming back to USA this year again as it just as cheap as going to Europe, and no guessing where we would rather be. Great the dollar being so good for us:banana:

You gotta love that dollar:cool1: - its great news for us UK'ers. I remember when it was $1.40 to our £1, now its near to $2 to our £1:woohoo: - menas everything is half price:woohoo:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=528769&in_page_id=1770&ct=5

The winds were quiet bad last night. They shut off a main road near to were I work this morning due to a piece of hording falling off a building near to the Disney offices. It caused chaos. The winds have picked up again tonight..no rain yet though.

Instead we are doing the Disney Eastbound Repo cruise. It was much cheaper.

Are you going to embarass him and take a pic to post? :rolleyes1

Really? You surprise me. I'm sure we would need more DVC points to stay there.

When I put it in, it comes up as follows:

Paradise Pier = $270/nt
Disneyland Hotel = $300/nt
Grand CA = $450/nt (or something way high)

Like I said, we had a ressie back in 2006 (that we couldn't use due to a death in the family) of $135 for the PP. We've stayed as low as $210 for the DL-Hotel.

I'll join in the fun. If you look near the bottom of this pic, I have a red circle at the area of New Jersey we live in. We are just west of the city of Woodbury. Here is a little history on Woodbury and it's founder:

Woodbury was founded by Henry Wood, a Quaker from the North-West of England, who had left Great Britain due to religious persecution. Wood was incarcerated in Lancaster gaol for practicing as a Quaker and left his home in the village of Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire, in a boat to set up a community in the new world where he and his family could practice his religion freely. His surname and his home town went to make up the name of the City he founded - Woodbury.

In 2000, the Borough of Bury, England, and the City of Woodbury were twinned as part of millennium celebrations in both countries. The twinning ceremony was the culmination of a week where more than 300 school children and college students, local dignitaries and local residents from Bury took part in sporting and cultural events held in and around Woodbury with local people.

During the week there was a symbolic meeting and reconciliation of the Vicar of Henry Wood's former church in Tottington and the Quaker's meeting house in Woodbury and an ecumenical service attended by many of the residents and visitors.

Now,where are you?

I'm going to watch BL tonight and crash right afterwards too...great minds think alike!:lmao:

I see O'Fallon, I see O'Fallon!! Hey, who is that little green man standing on top of your house Brenda? I think I hear him saying something about taking on the world.... :confused3

[JLDSMD]

Its real wierd outside....

The rain has stopped, the wind has stopped and its really still and quiet...

The lull before the storm:confused3

Maybe the "eye" of the storm.

[JLDSMD]

Wow..if I've got Nancy's location right, then you're not far from one another. Did you all meet for the first time last October?

Gosh no. We had several meets before the cruise.

She lives about 2 minutes from Suz work and about what, 15 minutes from my house Nancy?

[JLDSMD]

I'll join in the fun. If you look near the bottom of this pic, I have a red circle at the area of New Jersey we live in. We are just west of the city of Woodbury.

Real close to Philly then, hey Andy?

How close are you to BWI? I usually see $118 round trip to BWI from MKE on AirTran. Not sure what the Philly flights go for.

[JLDSMD]

Oh, Mark and Janice too....

How could you forget Judy?

Although, she is not on BOB.

[cntkg1]

Gosh no. We had several meets before the cruise.

She lives about 2 minutes from Suz work and about what, 15 minutes from my house Nancy?


All depends on who is driving. Chuck = 15 minutes, Nancy = 7.5 minutes. :rotfl2:

[JLDSMD]

Correctomundo Heather. Jeff and I live just a few minutes away from each other.:banana:



Don't forget Janice and Mark in Tomah. And then there was Judy! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: Jen, how could you forget her? :laughing:


I'm telling you, I really need to start reading backwards or fully read the thread and then start answering.

Now I look like a goof.

[JLDSMD]

Hello :wave2: Waukesha

Mine would actually be Hartland (well at least the is the closest town).

I'm actually a mutt. We have a different taxing authority, different post office city, different phone exchange, and yet a different school district. :faint:

[JLDSMD]

There is no way in he!! that I'll be able to access photocbucket from here.

Oh well ... no one really wants to come to the armpit of the midwest anyway.

It has been a really crazy day - I am completely brain fried and am looking forward to watching the biggest loser and then going to bed where I plan to be the biggest snoozer. :lmao:

We are only about 10-15 minutes from Philly Airport. BWI is probably about 90 minutes to the south of us(give or take a few minutes).

Speaking of post counts, what's up with Ed's thread? They have really slowed down. Have they given up on fluff or are we just so talkative (fluff and all)?

We may actaully "lap" them soon. At the rate of both threads, they will flip to #3 when we flip to #4.

Nice area, but I don't think I'd ever live in CA. Prices too high for housing and the taxes are awful. Plus, all the stupid laws get past first in CA and the rest of the country then suffers.

Not for me.

I'll take FL or even TX, both with no income tax. NV is the same, but I think their schools aint gooder then the other states. :rotfl:

Are you into this couples BB much Cass? I'm not really. It was bad enough when CBS was trying to push the "showmance" before, but this is just over the top. Something I'd expect from Fox. Don't care much for any of the houseguests either.

This is what happens when the networks have to struggle for new programming during a writers strike.

Yes Sean has a horrid commute. Right now though he can take BART(bay area rapid transit) to work so that helps not only with the stress of commuting but with the gas bill as well.

I'm here. I just ran one check run for tomorrow and now I want to do a couple tax returns, but I'm still tired from Sunday night. Plus, I have to get up at 5:30 (it is 11:30 now) to get ready for a board meeting that I need to be at, at 7:00.

I'm out looking at car rentals for the Repo right now. Trying to figure if I want to go back to LAX or drop near DL and stay out there on the 16th.

Also looking at hotels. The Fairfield and Best Western Park Place look nice. There is also a boutique hotel for under $100 - something like Hotel Menage.

How many DVC points does DL or PP take again Becky?

[JLDSMD]

Wow, the one way drop is getting you out in LA. You'd think they'd like cars dropped at DL.

Also, everyone must be getting SUV's that weekend. One place was like $100 more for 2 days.

Budget seems to have the best prices so far.

Good morning people - we survived the storms!

They were real bad about 2-3am... could hear things rolling round outside and the rain was awful, but its all stopped now. Havent ventured outside yet and havent seen the news to see how bad it got but.....WE'RE ALIVE:lmao:


I'll join in the fun. If you look near the bottom of this pic, I have a red circle at the area of New Jersey we live in. We are just west of the city of Woodbury. Here is a little history on Woodbury and it's founder:

Woodbury was founded by Henry Wood, a Quaker from the North-West of England, who had left Great Britain due to religious persecution. Wood was incarcerated in Lancaster gaol for practicing as a Quaker and left his home in the village of Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire, in a boat to set up a community in the new world where he and his family could practice his religion freely. His surname and his home town went to make up the name of the City he founded - Woodbury.

In 2000, the Borough of Bury, England, and the City of Woodbury were twinned as part of millennium celebrations in both countries. The twinning ceremony was the culmination of a week where more than 300 school children and college students, local dignitaries and local residents from Bury took part in sporting and cultural events held in and around Woodbury with local people.

During the week there was a symbolic meeting and reconciliation of the Vicar of Henry Wood's former church in Tottington and the Quaker's meeting house in Woodbury and an ecumenical service attended by many of the residents and visitors.

About 1 1/2 hours north of us is a tourist town (Wisconsin Dells) which has several hotels with indoor waterparks.

This is where we stayed:

http://greatwolflodge.com/Locations/Dells/explore.aspx

I'm pretty sore today - it's hard to keep up with 2 five year olds!

Climbing all those stairs for the waterslides is good exercise though :thumbsup2

[Cheryl N. WI]

Hi Shelley :wave: I'm here, well I'm here off and on, I'm trying to get caught up here from the last few days between getting caught up on some work arond the house. The last 2 days were really busy at work and in the evenings I didn't have much energy for anything but watching some TV.

[Cheryl N. WI]

There's an outlet mall in WI Dells that I went to this weekend...didn't stay long but I did manage to get to the Disney Outley and got DS 3 t-shirts for $5 each, and some Lion King little toys (originally $12.50 - I paid $5). I also got a skirt at Coldwater Creek outlet for $10 (originally $89.00) and some summer shoes from Easy Spirit for $10 (from 49.99)!

Yeay Woody - good luck on the new job!

We love the outlet mall in the Dells! They are some great stores in there :thumbsup2

[Cheryl N. WI]

I just heard on the noon news that it could take the body weeks to get use to the Spring Forward time change. I guess I shouldn't complain that it only takes me a few days to get used to it.

It was also stated that the body adjusts quicker to when the clocks are moved back in the fall, because we gain an hour of sleep.

Oh my, time for me to get back to work already..........:wave2:

That help's explain why I was so tired the last few nights! It wasn't just the busy days at work

[Cheryl N. WI]

Hiya! :)


And ... yeah baby it's offical! We're going to WDW October 8th - October 17th. Just got the final confirmations from DVC today. :thumbsup2

That's great Brenda :cool1: :cheer2:

[Cheryl N. WI]

Ok, while Kira is snacking, I put the round logo on different colour backgrounds so you could see what it would look like.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l120/timoncass/logo-yellow.jpg

Actually, I do too! It would look better with a darker colored ring around the logo though! I might make one of those later!

Thanks Cass! That helps a bunch!

I really like the purple, but I don't think the guys will go for it. I think I'm going to end up doing white after all. I think it will look best with the characters I plan to add on the front. Maybe I'll make black t-shirts with the Mickey Pumpkin for MNSSHP instead...

Ok, next question - are people thinking of doing the round logo or rectangular logo?

Yes, we need to decide this now....I don't have other cruises to plan for! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:




Do botrh - one white and one black - one for getting opnboard and one for our group photo meet. I then used mine to swim in *** my shoulders were burnt.



Me likey the purple, red and black and white one



Thanks for doing that Cass!

I like the black, the purple and the yellow. Rachel and I had yellow shirts last time and they worked out fine. I did have to ask Al last time what color would be OK for his shirt, I'm not sure he'd go for the purple either but it is a dark purple so he might.

I think we might do 2 shirts for Rach, Courtney and I. Al will only want one. Last cruise Rach had 2 and did like Karen, ended up wearing one of them while swimming to protect from the sun

[Cheryl N. WI]

Nancy and everyone else interested
Here is the link to where I got the recipe for the carrot cake cheesecake

http://www.recipezaar.com/114575

It is very good.

I am also trying to decide if I want 1 or 2 shirts. I also thought about making 1 for embarkation day with a logo for my family only and not the BOB logo, but that seemed a bit wrong, so I scrapped that idea right away. Now I'm trying to decide if I want the BOB logo on the front and names on the back, or vice versa....it's so hard to decide.

This isn't a BobaPet, but Mike always laughs at me because I love cows.
They are so cute.

Robin I love cows too. They have the cutest faces!

I am also trying to decide if I want 1 or 2 shirts. I also thought about making 1 for embarkation day with a logo for my family only and not the BOB logo, but that seemed a bit wrong, so I scrapped that idea right away. Now I'm trying to decide if I want the BOB logo on the front and names on the back, or vice versa....it's so hard to decide.

I was just looking at Cass's sight again and we will probably each have 2 shirts, one for getting on the ship with the BOB logo and then I want to do a different one for the 4 of us with the Mickey pumpkin more as the main thing on our shirts for MNSSHP.

Are you planning to do MNSSHP? I think we will, if we can get tickets. I'm also trying to decide where we'd stay if we stay over Sat. night - last time we just flew home on Saturday. If we do - I think I will do t-shirts with the Mickey Pumpkin for my family also. It's SO cool!

Are you going to put the BOB logo on the front or the back?

I've been enjoying seeing all the pictures of everyones pets. Rach made this picture collage of our dog Belle

We are planning on staying over Sat. night and going to MNSSHP :banana: I'm not sure where we'll stay yet, DVC or maybe Pop Century or a moderate but I am sure it will be one of the Disney hotels, we'll wait and see what next years prices are.
Last time we flew home on Sat. too but the evening flight and I kept thinking how nice it would be to have one more night.
We have been to MNSSHP twice before and it is a lot of fun and it is so neat to see how they transform the MK :cool1:

I'm not sure yet where we will put the BOB logo, I'm sure Rach will have a lot of input on that, she is the one that basically made our shirts lats time. She is much more creative than I am and way more computer smart too :goodvibes

We've never taken DS to WDW, so part of me is wondering if MNSSHP and the MK for the first time AFTER a week on DCL will be too much - a sort of "fun" overload. By on the other hand, will we really ever get to do this again? Decisions, decisions....good thing I have a while to think about it.

[Cheryl N. WI]

I am taking Alex to see The Jonas Brothers tomorrow night in Richmond. She is sooooooo excited. I am going to get me a pair of earplugs to wear.:lmao: A whole arena of screaming 10-14 year old girls doesn't appeal to me too much. But seeing her face will be so worth it.

Did you have a hard time getting tickets? Tickets go on sale this Sat. morning for the Jonas Brothers concert here in Milwaukee at Summerfest on July 6 and Rach is afraid they will sell out in seconds like the Hannah Montanna concert did. She would much rather see the Jonas Brothers though so she is really hoping to be able to get tickets this time!

[Cheryl N. WI]

So cute! I love the one with Belle curled up in the bed....

Thanks Jen, that's one of Belle's favorite palces to be curled up especially when the sun is coming in Rach's window, it really warms up in there

I don't know if it would really be an overload, maybe just a nice end to a wonderful week :goodvibes Because they limit the number of tickets sold for MNSSHP (and even though this will probably definitely be sold out because of it being Halloween) the park crowd level is controlled and it might actually be a good time for his first trip to the MK and if you may never have the chance to get to MNSSHP again I highly recommend trying to go. Just try and plan some "rest" time for the afternoon. Like you said you have time, a little over a year until the tickets will go on sale, to decide.

Our fur-baby ... Handsome Pete. We've had him since he was a kitten - he'll be 8 years old in July. He holds a special place in my heart because we picked him out just a few weeks before my brother died - having this little guy around really helped me through some tough times. He's a punk, but he's also a sweetheart. :love:

He hates it when we travel...

Brenda--your Handsome Pete looks like our Stefani when we bring out the suitcases, they are cute pics of HP!!! :thumbsup2

Belle hates it when we travel too. When the suitcases come out she starts acting "nervous" like where am I going to end up this time :rotfl2:

[Karen Mouse]

Dear Mama Goose:hug:

He's so excited to get it!

Have you been playing with your software by any chance;)

Thank you:hug:

He loved it (and so did I!)

[Karen Mouse]

Cass - do you get a tv programme in Canada called Ice Road Truckers?

We've been watching it for a few weeks - mad truckers driving across the frozen lakes to deliver supplies to diamond mines in Canada. Its really :scared1: - the ice starts cracking and everything:scared1: - good $$$$ but I wouldnt risk it.

[Karen Mouse]

You'll all thinkI 'm mad but I was out at the shops today and I saw a pack of 2white t shirts for Ellis for £1.50... great value! ..... so I bought them age 8-9for the Bob cruise logos:lmao:

We watched it last year. Not as exciting as Deadliest Catch. Have you seen that one? Deep sea fishers in winter! Now that was exciting. You just couldn't help feeling for these guys! Away from families for weeks on end and your paycheck depends on how much you catch! You don't catch enough you may not get a paycheck!

Good morning people - we survived the storms!

They were real bad about 2-3am... could hear things rolling round outside and the rain was awful, but its all stopped now. Havent ventured outside yet and havent seen the news to see how bad it got but.....WE'RE ALIVE:lmao:

I don't think so at all! I would have bought them ;)

Hey, my t-shirts will hopefully be done by Christmas this year - talk about being early! I want to give them as Christmas gifts, along with door signs. I have to do them anyways, and I'd feel goofy asking each family member to give me a few bucks for their t-shirt, but with at least 10 shirts to make, it won't be cheap. Plus, I'll have to break down and buy ink for my printer this time, so that's $50 right there!

What makes you think I sent it? It came from Mickey, didn't it? :lmao:

(You're most welcome)

Paging Cass and/or any other t-shirt makers....

Someone on the creative DISigns board just posted that they'd found a special on transfer paper at hp.com - it's buy one, get one free with free shipping.

Has anyone used HP transfer paper???? I used Avery last time, mostly since that was all I found.

[millerpjm]

Hoping FOr someone's expert opinion???? ;)

I see O'Fallon, I see O'Fallon!! Hey, who is that little green man standing on top of your house Brenda? I think I hear him saying something about taking on the world.... :confused3

Well, I wish I could see it.:rotfl:

Mine would actually be Hartland (well at least the is the closest town).

I'm actually a mutt. We have a different taxing authority, different post office city, different phone exchange, and yet a different school district. :faint:

Hello :wave2: Hartland
